2 Reasons Why Walmart Can’t Touch Whole Foods (WMT, WFM)
Whole Foods Market (WFM) stock has taken a nearly 7% beating since just a few days ago, when Walmart (WMT) made an interesting announcement.

WMT is partnering with Wild Oats Market (originally bought out by Whole Foods, but the deal was nixed by the government) to lower the price on a line of organic foods in the megastore chain. At the moment, the plan rolls out about 100 products in the Wild Oats line. It’s unclear whether it will expand to others.

The Bering Strait was last crossed by humans 20,000 years ago during the ice age, when ice formed a bridge between North America and Asia. Today, 47 miles and some of the harshest ocean and arctic conditions separate the two continents.

However, despite the potential benefits, there have yet to be any serious attempts to put these concepts into reality. Climatic, Geologic, and Geographic Challenges The Bering Strait lies just south of the Arctic Circle and is subject to long, dark winters and extreme weather [average winter lows of −20 °C (−4 °F) with extreme lows approaching −50 °C (−58 °F)] and high winds. The region is marked by frequent and sometimes large-magnitude earthquakes.
